SARVAROV Lazy Load

This plugin is the best way to make your images, iframes & videos lazy. Just activate the plugin and lazy loading will work automatically. It’s very simple, just try it!

THIS PLUGIN WILL MAKE YOUR SITE FASTER

All your media content will be loaded only when it’s in the browser viewport. Also you can hide loading process from visitors at all: the lazy elements can be loaded invisibly before the user reaches it.

THIS PLUGIN WILL MAKE YOUR SITE LOOK BETTER

In just one click your can enable blurred LQIP (inspired by Medium) and average color placeholder. Both of them look very modern & interesting.

Main features

• Speed up your blog, improve its PageSpeed Insights score
• Change style of placeholder, animation, transition etc.
• Make placeholder color based of the average color
• LQIP technology (Low Quality Image Placeholders)
• Using the Lazysizes library and a lot of hooks give the possibility for customization to make the result the way you want
• High-quality code
• SEO friendly
• Mobile friendly
• Low server load (due to caching)

1. Upload the complete sarvarov-lazy-load folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. You can configure the plugin by clicking on the ‘Lazy Load’ link in the ‘Settings’ menu.

Will that plugin work on any template?

I hope so, but might be not. I originally made this plugin for myself and I tested it only on latest WordPress release on the default Twenty Fifteen theme. If you have compatibility issues with my plugin and your theme – just write me and I will try to fix it on next update.

Why isn’t LQIP technologue working?

LQIP (Low Quality Image Placeholders) is working only on newly uploaded images (.jpg & .jpeg). If you want to make it work with existing images, you need to regenerate lqip image size using a third-party plugin like Regenerate Thumbnails.

How to make lazy custom images/iframes?

You can create a custom function like this:

function my_lazy_process( $content = '', $params = array() ) {

    if( class_exists( 'SARVAROV_Lazy_Load' ) ) {
        return apply_filters( 'lazy_process', $content, $params );
    }

    return $content;
}

Will this plugin affect SEO?

Definitely Yes, in a positive way. The pages of your site will load faster, which positively affects the indexing of your site by search engine robots. The plugin has no effect on image indexing: search engines see them, don’t worry!

How to add Schema.org vocabulary?

For example:

add_filter( 'sarvarov_lazy_load_image_container_atts', function( $atts ) {
    $new_atts = array(
        'itemprop' => array(
            'value' => 'image'
        ), 
        'itemscope' => array(
            'value' => 'itemscope'
        ), 
        'itemtype' => array(
            'value' => 'http://schema.org/ImageObject'
        )
    );

    $atts = array_merge(
        $atts,
        $new_atts
    );

    return $atts;
}, 10, 1 );

add_filter( 'sarvarov_lazy_load_image_container', function( $content = '', $img_width, $img_height, $atts ) {
    if( $img_width && $img_height ) {
        $content .= sprintf( '<meta itemprop="width" content="%1$d" /><meta itemprop="height" content="%2$d" />', $img_width, $img_height );
    }

    return $content;
}, 10, 4 );
